⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited Tacos in Salsa and was honestly impressed! First off, the tacos are overstuffed in the best way possible — no skimpy portions here. You’re definitely getting your money’s worth, and then some. Every bite was packed with flavor and fillings. What really made the experience even better was the top-notch service. Oscar at the front counter was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the whole ordering process smooth and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in great customer service. One of my favorite parts? The DIY salsa bar! You can mix your own green or red sauce to your liking and fill up little cups to go. It’s a fun, personal touch that you don’t find at every spot. Also, if you’re in a rush, their call-in orders are lightning fast. I placed a pickup order once, and it was hot and ready by the time I walked in. The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is just because the seating area can get a little crowded during peak hours — but that’s just a sign of how popular they are. Definitely worth checking out if you’re craving solid tacos and speedy service!

Anyone who has someone who loves them heard about this spot. If you haven't ......look just go. Trashcan taco is amazing. Fast service, but don't be surprised if you are in line to order. Great portions unlike others that just barely cover the taco, could not even eat 2 of them. So good. Super friendly. This place needs to be 3x bigger.

Our whole office loves Tacos n’ Salsa—it’s our go-to spot for lunch! The tacos are consistently delicious, and the salsa is always fresh and flavorful. While it may cost a little more than some other taco places, the quality, taste, and portion sizes make it well worth it. The staff is fast, friendly, and always helpful, which makes grabbing lunch during a busy workday super convenient. On top of that, the location is easy to get to, so it’s become a regular stop for us. If you’re looking for great tacos with great service, this is definitely the place.

My daughter and I came in today and bought two combo platters. I also got the limeade and it was delicious. The food was great and good value but honestly the people in the cafe were so welcoming and provide excellent service. I live pretty far away but I’ll be back for more tacos and good vibes!

August 2025 Revisited for some additional tacos! Same great service and food. Thanks TnS for being consistent in your service and food. April 2025 I was in the area and decided to stop in and get a few tacos for breakfast. We ate the bean and cheese and potato and egg taco there. I then ordered four fajita tacos to go. You gotta love this place, as it is one of the best, if not the best places to get tacos in san antonio. I hope that you decide to visit and your experience is as good as mine March 2025 It was time to revisit a fantastic taco place (IMO). I stopped in with a family member to get some breakfast tacos, and took 4 fajitas tacos for snacks. I encourage you to give this place a try. I do not believe you will be disappointed. October 2024 I have been visiting the Tacos-n-Salsa establishment since mid-2018. Their tacos are good, some of these best in the city, and filled. You can not leave with a to go order without getting some complimentary salsa and pico... The team and staff working at TnS will do everything within reason to make your visit pleasant and enjoyable. For me, on this visit, I arrived around 8:30 am on a Thursday and ordered 4 potatoe -n- egg tacos and 2 fajita w/ onion tacos. I hope you visit and take the opportunity to support this local business, and your experience is as good as mine have been over the years.

Extremely good! There tacos were big and delicious. The tortillas are great. The staff were friendly and helpful. I asked if they had a breakfast burrito on the menu and was told they don’t but they would still make me one. It was really good. Highly recommend this place!

Came here to start our day and it did not disappoint. We grabbed 2 breakfast tacos per person and 3 for me, that was way too many. Most normal people 1 is plenty and 2 was enough for me. They are huge and packed full of meat. I had the trash can which had a little bit of everything, the fajita, and the barbacoa. Other family members had the bacon and egg and chicken fajita as well. Each one was packed full of meat on a warm fresh tortilla. The salsa is self serve and the green creamy sauce was my fav.
